From Luxor to Aswan, the Nile Valley is dotted with majestic temples, necropolises, pyramids, and ancient treasures, as well as lively little villages.

Throughout history, adventurers, diplomats, writers, and painters have drawn inspiration from the fertile banks of the Nile to fuel their art, and it’s easy to see why as you navigate between these banks steeped in legend.

The cruise between Edfu and Kom Ombo, home to temples dedicated to the falcon god Horus and the crocodile god Sobek, sets the stage for your arrival in Aswan, the jewel of Upper Egypt.
